Mystikal--- don't you recognize the Toronto waterfront??? That's the Sunshine Bridge in the Tampa Bay Area, FL.

Alee--- that's the UUC springs. Unfortunately, they really slammed the rear--- a bit more than I would have wanted. The fronts are nice without being overly low.

Whew, I was wondering where the hell you took such nice pics in April.

How was the noise of the exhaust on the long trip? Which one is it, anyways?

It's a Laser exhaust with DTM tips that I picked up cheap. The exhaust is full stainless with virtually no increase in noise from stock (bummer!) My car sounds like stock except on Wide Open Throttle.

Sounds pretty good, and I'm surprised at the quietness of it. My sister put some exhaust with DTM tips on her Integra and it's the loudest thing this side of a Harley.

JP,

How's the ride with the UUC springs? I heard it should ride just like stock in terms of comfort, yet provide a lot less body roll (I know, you also have sways so it is hard to measure the springs' effect on body roll).

BTW, great looking car!! One suggestion: Paint the trunk lid with the touch up paint. It'll look great.

The ride is quite civilized. It's a little stiffer than stock but very livable... perhaps 10-15% stiffer than stock. There is a less body roll with the springs. I like them.

The rear is visibly lower, but it's fine on my grocery-getter silver sedan. Anything to make it a little different from the masses is good!
